I'll start this off with saying: I'm an idiot.
So, the highway here goes through a valley... and it is of course steep on either side. So, in order to get my expedition up the side of the mountain, at 70, which is the speed limit, I have to floor it and the engine hovers around 4K rpm... I've only done this perhaps 5 times total, and today, it was having none of it. The check engine light started to blink, so I pulled over, shut it off, and looked it up...
Internet said I could drive, but slowly, so I started it back up... the check engine light was off, and I didn't hear anything weird, so I continued up the highway... at 40, not 70. I stopped in a parking lot, then revved it a little, and I couldn't hear anything weird- light still off- and I simply came home.
Hopefully nothing is wrong, and the car was just unhappy about running hard, right...? Jeez, what a heck of a way to learn a lesson, I thought I was done doing stupid things back when I still had that dumb explorer
